Kevin Costner Was Reportedly ‘Begging’ To Return To ‘Yellowstone’
etcanada.comThe actor won’t be back on the hit Paramount series. Kevin Costner reportedly wanted to come back to “Yellowstone”. In a new report, Puck News claims that the 68-year-old actor’s reps were “basically begging” creator Taylor Sheridan and Paramount to have him return for the second half of the series’ fifth season and beyond.
ET has reached out to reps for Costner and Paramount for comment. According to the report, Costner’s rep managed to arrange a phone call for the actor and Sheridan, though the creator had already written most of the second half of season 5 assuming the actor wouldn’t be back.
Sheridan, the outlet claims, was willing to rewrite the episodes to get Costner back, but was less keen on the actor’s other demands: more money, a reduced shooting schedule, and the right to review, approve, and veto every script.
